Nayara Springs

From the moment we began planing, our arrival, our experience, the staff and property was an absolute delight. We booked a villa with a hot spring pool/jacuzzi and it was divine. In the morning, you hear the howler monkeys on your roof, you will see sloths in the trees, fantastic birds, and experience wonderful massages and spa experience. We opted for massage and mud treatments. Coming from NYC it was the perfect r beginning to our zen holiday. While you are in a rainforest, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the occasional rain. The food at the restaurants was good and the service was excellent. We are foodies and can say that the food was mild and nothing that would be up for a Michelin star but still very good - I would not go for the food alone, it was about the experience of the place that made it worth it. Also in the springs where we were it is adults only so it was delightfully quiet.

From a late night arrival to departure, Nayara Springs delivers a true five star experience. Staff were calm, warm and fully present, even after dark. Transfer to the villa was seamless. The villa was immaculate, silent and beautifully designed. Service stayed consistent throughout. Breakfasts were excellent. Spa and dining matched the setting. The grounds were beautiful , and whilst it rained all the time - that’s fine , as it is a beautiful rain forest and sitting in your warm pool in the rain or using your outdoor shower was bliss.

A truly lovely experience of great food and service! A few standout world-class people we met include: front desk Merlyn, Noelia, Steven, Bernie and Jessica, amazing Angel and Leo at restaurant Amore Loco, Also Caesar and Ignacio at Terrazzo restaurant, plus extraordinary Harley and Julio at Nostalgia wine bar/restaurant - highly recommend the wine pairing! Robin at Ayla restaurant was terrific and caring, not to mention kind general manager Karina, Bernie, Silvia in housekeeping, many drivers like Isaac, Adrian, Francesco, and Jefferson. Great Rio Celeste tour guide Zander. Maria for best reaction to seeing wildlife (See Coati pic) Sorry that’s all I could remember : ) oh and driver Bryan with a “y!”

An absolutely amazing time at Nayara. We stayed at Nayara Springs for our honeymoon and it was incredible. The service is a 10/10. The food is incredible. I highly recommend!

A beautiful setting, excellent service, gorgeous rooms with terraces and plunge pools, and everything you could want from a resort: beautiful pools with cabanas, hiking trails, a gym and yoga studio, excellent restaurants ranging from casual to elegant. There’s plenty to do in LaFortuna, but Nayara Springs is a place you could come and just stay on property. It has everything you could want!
